El Camino Reelers: Square Dancing in Silicon Valley for the LGBTQ Community and friends

2026-27 Advanced Class

Our 2026-27 Advanced class starts Monday, September 14

By the end of this fun-filled 32-week class, you'll be able to dance the calls on the Callerlab A1 and A2 programs and will know the related rules, terms and concepts.

The class is open to Plus level dancers and Advanced dancers needing a refresher. You should have a solid grasp of Plus dancing from a variety of positions (e.g., Recycle as either a Center or an End).

  • The class starts Monday, September 14 and will meet on Mondays from 7:00 to 9:00 pm for 32 weeks, ending in late April 2027. Please plan to attend as many sessions as possible.
  • Location: St. Andrew's United Methodist Church, 411 Alma Street, Palo Alto.
  • Instructors: Classes will be taught by our rotating line-up of El Camino Reelers staff callers.
  • Price: $320, payable at the start of the class, or in two installments of $160 each. Please bring cash or a check made out to El Camino Reelers.
  • You can also pay in advance via PayPal. Use the PayPal button on this page.
  • Light refreshments (snacks/beverages) included.
  • Angels welcome! ($10 per night at the door). If you already dance Advanced, come out and help the new students. There will be full-level star tips during the evening.

To sign up for the class, pay in advance via PayPal, sign up at an ECR club night, or send an email to info@reelers.org to let us know you're coming. Taking the class guarantees you a place in a square and attention from the instructors.
